• 0:28
  Good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  Ooh, so let's talk about having some Grace for yourself.
• 0:34
  It seems to me that there is a high need for us right now to
• 0:39
  have a little bit more Grace with ourselves, in the sense
• 0:42
  that we are running short on patience with ourselves and
• 0:46
  having patience with yourself is a very difficult thing to do.
• 0:52
  I Know Myself pretty well and I can say I have very little
• 0:55
  patience with myself and I get frustrated with certain things
• 0:59
  like when I show up a Way or act a certain way or I don't feel
• 1:02
  good about something about myself.
• 1:05
  I have very low tolerance of it. I do however, have a lot of
• 1:09
  patience with myself when I'm being in the creative mode.
• 1:12
  But if I'm not in the creative mode, I don't have patience for
• 1:15
  myself. Working out, I don't have
• 1:17
  patience for myself. Soon as I can't do something,
• 1:20
  I'm pissed off at myself and I recognize that showing up today
• 1:25
  and in myself and I was just like gosh you know I really
• 1:29
  think I need to have a little more Grace for this because it's
• 1:31
  not something that I've been doing for a while and I haven't
• 1:35
  been pushing myself like I I walk like a lunatic all the
• 1:39
  time, so I'm very very good at stops.
• 1:41
  I'm usually over 25 thousand steps a day or right around it,
• 1:45
  never under 20,000 but I don't have a lot of Grace for myself
• 1:51
  when it comes to certain things and I went to go move some stuff
• 1:54
  around and I was like oh man, I picked up something and I move
• 1:57
  just wrong and I was like yeah my back is like killing me.
• 2:00
  And quite honestly, it's because I need to work out and I need to
• 2:04
  do that part of strength training and it's just not
• 2:07
  something that I have poured into myself with.
• 2:10
  And I know that's something that's coming.
• 2:13
  That is my Springtime goal of doing it.
• 2:15
  And in fact, I just saw a client recently who completed a 75-day
• 2:20
  hard Challenge and it was just pure inspiration and I
• 2:24
  absolutely love it and I'm you know, I'm committed to doing
• 2:28
  this 75 hard but I just I just don't know what 75 days I'm
• 2:32
  going to pick it. So I'm working on that piece but
• 2:35
  at the same time I'm thinking to myself, gosh I need to like get
• 2:38
  my my my patients in line with myself because I know it's going
• 2:43
  to be hard and I don't have a lot of patience with myself.
• 2:46
  So when you start this process off, just like I'm telling
• 2:50
  myself and working myself through it.
• 2:52
  It's looking at yourself and saying yes and better than I was
• 2:56
  yesterday, it's incremental wins.
• 2:59
  Is it going to be No, it's not. Can I be the first one to tell
• 3:03
  myself? No, it's not.
• 3:04
  And I'm telling you, it's not going to be perfect things.
• 3:07
  Just happen in life. In general, you think you've got
• 3:10
  it all lined up and then things just happen.
• 3:13
  Well, you can get frustrated or you can just recognize that all
• 3:16
  these things happen to give us an opportunity to be able to do
• 3:20
  better and more and shift ourselves, but we can't do that
• 3:24
  if we're out of Grace and we're just beating ourselves up.
• 3:28
  Then all we do is jump into being mean to ourselves and And
• 3:30
  gosh, when does that ever work? You know, having having patients
• 3:36
  having Grace for yourself and meeting yourself where you are.
• 3:39
  Is so necessary. It's like, it's like giving
• 3:42
  yourself a virtual hug. It's like sitting there and
• 3:44
  saying, you know what, I love myself enough to let myself have
• 3:48
  some patience with myself and not beat myself up and learn
• 3:52
  from my experiences, learn from my conversations with myself.
• 3:55
  And then help myself. Because ultimately, we are
• 3:59
  responsible for ourselves. So we have to participate in our
• 4:02
  own rescues and when we don't participate in our own rescues,
• 4:05
  that's when we end up in so much trouble, we have no choice.
• 4:10
  We have to do it. So I'm going to remind you guys
• 4:13
  just like, I have to remind myself.
• 4:15
  There is nothing more important than having grace and patience
• 4:19
  for yourself. There is nothing more important
• 4:21
  than choosing to see yourself in a way that has that level of
• 4:26
  patience and allowing yourself to cultivate a win.
• 4:30
  NG attitude from it. So pause catch yourself beating
• 4:35
  yourself up, say to yourself. No, I'm going to have patience
• 4:39
  right now, especially if you're trying to do something
• 4:41
  complicated and you're not good at it right away.
• 4:44
  I mean, think about how you talk to your kids if you have any
• 4:48
  about how when they're doing something and it's the first
• 4:50
  time they're doing it, we always say, well, you're not going to
• 4:52
  be great at it right away, you got to be patient, you got to
• 4:55
  work out if you got to be committed to your outcome and we
• 4:57
  do the right pep talk, but we Do that with ourselves.
• 5:02
  So do that pep, talk with yourself, give yourself that
• 5:05
  confidence. That little tiny thing that you
• 5:07
  need that virtual hug be patient and choose to have some Grace.
• 5:12
  I hope you guys have a very, very blessed day and I will see
• 5:15
  you all tomorrow. Bye.
